Fair Play by Deeanne Gist. $ 1.99.
From the Jacket Copy:
From the bestselling author of It Happened at the Fair comes a historical love story about a lady doctor and a Texas Ranger who meet at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair.
Saddled with a man’s name, the captivating Billy Jack Tate makes no apologies for taking on a man’s profession. As a doctor at the 1893 Chicago World’s Fair, she is one step closer to having her very own medical practice—until Hunter Scott asks her to give it all up to become his wife.
Hunter is one of the elite. A Texas Ranger and World’s Fair guard specifically chosen for his height, physique, character, and skill. Hailed as the toughest man west of any place east, he has no patience for big cities and women who think they belong anywhere but home…
Despite their difference of opinion on the role of women, Hunter and Billy find a growing attraction between them—until Hunter discovers an abandoned baby in the corner of a White City exhibit. He and Billy team up to make sure this foundling isn’t left in the slums of Chicago with only the flea-riddled, garbage-infested streets for a playground. As they fight for the underprivileged children in the Nineteenth Ward, an entire Playground Movement is birthed. But when the Fair comes to an end, one of them will have to give up their dream.
Will Billy exchange her doctor’s shingle for the domesticated role of a southern wife, or will Hunter abandon the wide open spaces of home for a life in the “gray city,” a woman who insists on being the wage earner, and a group of ragamuffins who need more than a playground for breathing space?

Oh, I’ve liked the two Gist’s that I’ve read (Maid to Match and the one about the mail order brides). She writes inspies but the one’s I’ve read weren’t too heavy handedly Christian, and while all the sex was fade to black, there was good sexual tension. And her work is usually pricey, this is a great price.
Today is the last day for this coupon at the US Harlequin site. Buy one, get the 2nd (cheaper) book 50% off. The code is BR415. It’s better than nothing, now that discounts at Kobo, etc. are gone. *cries*
I’ve really enjoyed the Rose Gardner books. Light mystery/intrigue with a dash of romance mixed in. My only complaint is there is still a bit of a romance triangle through book 6 and expecting more of the same in book 7 due out on 4/28/15. Hoping this gets resolved soon.
Amazon’s daily deal today includes discounts on Leigh Bardugo’s YA fantasy trilogy (I can finally read the third book!) and Louise Penny’s much-recommended mystery series.
@Krista: I was going to ask about the Gardner books. I dislike triangles but at that price I guess I’ll try them.
